"Originally, I always thought that there must be everything in the capital, and there were too many tricks to play, but I didn't expect it to be as interesting as Jiangnan, which made me bet big."

"It's still small, you're losing again."

"Xiao Lu, you're cheating! Why are there so many hands, all small! ”

The cold breeze outside the house, the charcoal fire in the house warmed up, Lu Hanjiang and Shang Luo sat opposite each other on the small kang, the melon seed shells on the table had been piled up into a hill, and the dice cup was shaking loudly, a happy scene.

The location of Xiaoxian Garden is not far from Jinyiwei's position, and the terrain is high, Lu Hanjiang can use a clairvoyant mirror to see the situation over there at any time.

It's so boring to wait dryly, so Lu Hanjiang started playing with the equally boring Shang Luo, thinking of calling the other Shang Luo and her brother to play mahjong together, but unfortunately the two little ones always avoided him.

Helpless, he had to chat with Shang Luo while playing some dice.

"No, let me do it this time! Big or small? ”

Shang Luo snatched the dice cup and shook it himself, and asked casually, "Xiao Lu, why did you come here tonight, and you are still dressed so seriously." ”

Lu Hanjiang freed his hand and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and while chattering, he said: "Of course, wearing official uniforms is to do business, I am different from you, I am very busy with errands, and I bet big." ”

"I'm so busy and I'm still hanging out here."

Shang Luo pursed his lips, opened the dice cup and looked at it, and laughed hesitantly: "It's small, you lost." ”

"You're sneaking around," Lu Hanjiang put down the melon seeds, patted the shell on his hand clean, took out a gadget from his pocket and handed it over: "Oh, I brought it to you from the south." ”

"A gift."

Shang Luo's eyes lit up, and he took the small wood carving and fiddled with it: "What flower is this?" ”

"Wind chimes."

While speaking, Lu Hanjiang picked up the clairspace on the table and looked out the window, while not forgetting to stuff some melon seeds into his mouth, and said casually: "This time I went to South Shaolin to burn incense, and I had a good chat with the abbot of Lingkong, so he gave me this." ”

"The monk gave it."

Shang Luo seemed to be a little disgusted when he heard this, but when he saw the little wood carving vivid, his expression became happy again: "This abbot is quite interesting, he actually likes to carve some flowers and plants, by the way, have you given money?" ”

"Needless to say, the incense money I gave will definitely ensure that they will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the next life."

Saying that, Lu Hanjiang didn't find any movement on the other side of the position through the clairvoyant mirror, he smacked his lips and said to himself: "Don't think too much." ”

"Thank you."

Shang Luo happily put down the small wood carving, and then suddenly remembered something, and complained to Lu Hanjiang: "Xiao Lu, there is something you have to help me with." ”

Lu Hanjiang put the clairvoyant mirror aside and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"My sword was taken away by the guards at the south gate of the capital, you can help me come back." Shang Luo said pitifully.

"Little things...... Wait, where did you get the sword? ”

The words were answered smoothly, Lu Hanjiang felt that something was wrong when he came back to his senses, he looked at the girl in surprise and asked, "You started stealing again?" Haven't been caught yet? ”

"Who's stealing!"

Shang Luo stuck out his tongue vigorously, stared at Lu Hanjiang with his hands crossed on his waist and said, "This girl was bought with real gold and silver!" ”

Lu Hanjiang sighed and asked, "What kind of idea is it to sell swords in the capital, no, where did you get the money?" ”

"It was given by His Royal Highness the Fourth."

Shang Luo snapped his fingers and said: "When I was still living with His Highness before, the father-in-law in charge sent a large bag of silver on the first day, saying that it was for daily use, Xiao Lu, people are much more generous than you." ”

"People's father is the emperor, you see what my father does." Lu Hanjiang said angrily.

"Yes," Shang Luo nodded, and said, "Then that day I went to the river for a walk, and met a strange person who said that he was related to me, and then he sold me his sword for a penny." ”

"A penny?" Lu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows, feeling wrong.

"A penny." Shang Luo nodded affirmatively.

"You're not going to be tricked, are you?" To be honest, if someone really came to the trick, Lu Hanjiang would be relieved.

Shang Luo snorted disdainfully and said, "Who dares to set this girl, is it an ornament to be a brocade guard?" ”

“......”

It's good, this hostage's identity is true, so she can play with it.

There are Jinyiwei's secret sentinels near Xiaoxian Garden, although Shang Luo seems to travel unhindered on weekdays, but in fact, they are all under Jinyiwei's nose, and there are only two possibilities for this sword seller to approach her without arousing Jinyiwei's vigilance.

One is that this person is a strange person who doesn't follow common sense, and selling swords for a penny is also due to his character, and if he doesn't do anything else, he will naturally not be noticed by Jinyiwei.

This second, that is, this person's martial arts are strong, and he can avoid the eyes of Jinyiwei and send the sword to Shang Luo.

If it is the first case, Lu Hanjiang Quan should watch it lively, if it is the second case...... Shang Jidao or which Huashan elder came down the mountain? Thinking about it, it seems that only they would do such a thing to Shang Luo for no reason.

Since the other party did not make any further moves, their reaction naturally did not need to be too big, but this matter was strange inside and out, and Lu Hanjiang took it to heart.

"I think that sword is quite beautiful, Xiao Lu, you must help me come back." Shang Luo pleaded bitterly, thinking that the sword should indeed be not bad.

Lu Hanjiang nodded in response, and said helplessly: "Your heart is too big, and you dare to enter the city with a sword, if you don't have a brocade guard, you will be comfortable." ”

There is an extremely strict weapon control in the capital, and theoretically there are only two kinds of people who can use swords in the capital, one is the Jinyi Guard, and the other is the forbidden army of the palace guard, both of which have one thing in common, that is, they do not belong to the jurisdiction of any court department, and directly obey the emperor's orders.

In addition, all the long weapons, chariots, horses, and baggage were all sealed in the arsenal, and even the city gate order was only worn with short soldiers at most, and the remaining officials who patrolled the streets in the city could only be used with water and fire sticks.

As for individuals, if they don't have enough status, they don't even have the qualifications to report to the City Defense Division, and under such strict control, if they want to enter the capital with weapons openly, it is better to just say that they want to go to the prison cell.

"I didn't know there were so many rules in the city." Shang Luo pouted, aggrieved.

"Okay, okay, I'll get the sword back for you."

Lu Hanjiang's words made Shang Luo's expression immediately turn from cloudy to sunny, this was just a gesture for him, as long as he didn't bring it into the city, it was easy to say.

While talking here, the light in the distance suddenly became erratic, Lu Hanjiang immediately picked up the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, sure enough, it was a thief who came to the door, and it was not Yin Zhixi, but a group of guys who had never met before.

Is it really coming at him?

Lu Hanjiang was amazed, when did he and Liang Zi of the Xuantian Sect get married so big, a group of guys with small bellies and chicken intestines.

"There seems to be movement," Shang Luo also noticed the changes outside, and she said, "Xiao Lu, do you want to go over." ”

With a sigh, Lu Hanjiang reluctantly got down from the kang, took away the big jacket hanging on the shelf, and said to Shang Luo: "I'll go and finish it, you just stay here and don't move." ”
